Not just AIDS, but galloping bad AIDS. the serious one. Get to your doctors, you poor manky footed souls

I have a sore right big toe - skin flared up around the nail and was very painful, first noticed thursday evening walking back to tent after carmageddon.

This thread has reminded me to look it up - as while it's not as painful it's still there.  Day 2 and I was wearing runners, so not welly-related - shows you still need to look after your feet though.  And eat less cake.

I've diagnosed myself with acute paronychia - guess I should book a gp appointment...

Nerve compression by the sounds of it. I've had similar before after snowboarding (the boots).

I am a runner, so when i started running i lost a few big toe nails and got numb toes. Mainly caused by wearing shoes that fit perfectly. not taking in to account that I have toe nails. when you are repeatedly walking and dancing , slamming your feet down your toe nail his your shoe just a little every time. 

 

to stop this wear shoes half a size too big, cut your toe nails right down to the nub

 

never lost a toe nail or had numb toes since

I'm fairly sure that my left foot has been pretty fucked ever since my first Glasto in 2014

No Glastonbury Toe for me this year! Wore trainers all weekend apart from a few hours and I can't remember which day that was. It's so nice to feel all my toes! Woo!
